6.4 Phoenix Ethernet Switches

A network solution (AutroNet) with more than two panels requires the
use of switches, unless AutroNet Ring Topology is used (refer to
chapter 9.5.3). Only Phoenix Ethernet switches are approved and
supported by Autronica Fire and Security AS. The switch type and the
number of switches depend on the actual installation / network design
(number of panels and the transmission length between the panels /
switches).

For detailed technical information on the power consumption for
Phoenix Ethernet Switches, refer to System Description, AutroSafe
Interactive Fire Detection System.

6.5 Power Design Considerations

The Power Cabinet’s (BP-405) power supply (BPS-405) has 3A
available, as 2A is reserved for battery charging.

The supplies have three different output classes:

 A1/A2, rated 2A each. (May be paralleled for higher current). Will

always be ON except in fault situations.

 B1/B2, rated 2A each. (May be paralleled for higher current)
 C1/C2, rated 2A each. (Cannot be paralleled. Will be turned OFF

during every start-up/initialization.

Output class A1 may be paralleled with A2, and output class B1 may
be paralleled with B2.

The outputs current is limited by the total available current, i.e. on a
BP-405 Power Cabinet with battery, 2A is drawn from output A1, only
1A is available from output A2, and nothing available for the other
outputs.

One BPS-405 unit can be connected to one battery set. A battery set
may NOT be shared by several BPS-405 units.

The outputs from different BPS-405 units cannot be paralleled, as the
power supplies are not designed for this. Earth fail detection will also
fail. Regulations define that battery resistance shall be monitored,
which prevents the use of common battery bank.

The A1/A2 outputs are n ot af fected of a BPS-405 software failure. If
one output (for example, A1) is short-circuited, the other ones are not
affected. This does not apply when two outputs are paralleled, (for
example, A1 and A2), as a short circuit in this case will disconnect
both outputs.

9.3 Mains Wiring - Two-pole Disconnect Device

In the fixed mains wiring to the panel a two-pole disconnect device
must be provided to disconnect the equipment from the power supply
when servicing is required. Normally, this switch is a two-pole
automatic fuse located in the fuse terminal box at the premises. This
fuse location must be marked "Fire Alarm System". No other than the
Fire Detection System shall be sourced from this switch.

The isolation of the mains wiring must be of either:

 inflammability class V2

or

 the wiring has to be fixed to the cabinet separated from all other

cables

9.5 Connection of Netw ork Cables (AutroNet)

Each panel provides two ports; Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2. Autr oNet
consists of one of the following network topologies:

 AutroNet Redundant Star Topology
 AutroNet Single Star Topology
 AutroNet Ring Topology

9.5.1 AutroNet Redundant Star Topology

The illustration below shows an example of the fully redundant
standard AutroNet, where the following guidelines apply:

 Connect the Ethernet cables for Ethernet 1 to and from the

connections labeled Ethernet 1 (panels and Ethernet switches)
throughout the entire system.

9.5.2 AutroNet Single Star Topology

As an option, AutroSafe 4 allows also single Ethernet connections to
one or several panels in a system if redundancy is not required.
Ethernet 1 must always be used for single Ethernet connections.

The example below is similar to the one in the previous chapter; all
panels have redundant connections to the system, except for the
Repeater Panel, which has a single Ethernet connection.

 Between the Repeater Panel and the Ethernet switch, make only a

single Ethernet connection to and from Ethernet 1.

 Connect the remaining Ethernet cables as described in the

previous chapter

9.5.3 AutroNet Ring Topology

In an AutroNet Ring Topology all panels are connected to each other
forming a closed loop. The first panel is connected to the second, the
second is connected to the third, and so on (preferably from Ethernet
1 to Ethernet 2, from Ethernet 1 to Ethernet 2, from Ethernet 1 to
Ethernet 2 and so on).

A ring topology is a redundant network, as all panels will continue to
operate even with a single break or short-circuit on the ring.

Page 51

10.3 Mounting / Removing I/O Modules

10.3.1 General

Note: The Power Module (BSS-310A)
must always be mounted first on the
rail - at the bottom - before any other
modules. The Communication Module
(BSL-310) is then mounted on top of
the Power Module. If the optional Dual
Power Monitoring Module BSS-311 is
to be used, this module always has to
be mounted at the bottom – before
BSS-310A and BSL-310.

All other modules can be mounted in
arbitrary order on top of these
modules.

10.3.2 Mounting

The connection block on the I/O module must be pointing to the right
when the module is to be inserted in a BS-420/BC-420 cabinet.

 Snap the right side of the

fastener onto the mounting
rail (1), then press the module
slightly inwards (2) until the
left side fastens.

 Then, carefully press the

module downwards as far
as possible. Make sure that the module is properly connected to
the module below.

Note! Make sure the mains power is OFF!

Fixed Pos ition

BSL-310
BSS-310A
(BSS-311, optional)

When the system is to be configured at a later p o int, note that the
AutroSafe Configuration Tool graphically shows the first module on

the top of the figure and the following in desc ending order. This
may be opposite to the physical mounting, and must be taken into
consideration when configuring the sys tem. Also note that the
configuration tool does not show the BSS-311 and BSL-310.

10.3.3 Removing

 Ensure the panel is not powered.

 Unplug the connection block.

 Use a screwdriver to carefully

lift the topmost module upwards
(1) until the connector between the
modules is free.

 Use the screwdriver to slightly

bend the left side of the
fastener towards left (2) until
it loosens, then remove (3) the
module.

 If necessary, continue removing

the next one in the same way.

10.3.4 Before Connecting Cables

 Before connecting cables, make sure that the mains power is not

connected.

Autronica Fire and Security AS

Page 53

11. Dual Safety Installation

11.1 Dual Safety System Overview

An AutroSafe system using the Dual Safety concept consists of a
Primary System and a Secondary System. The purpose of the
concept is to ensure that the Secondary System takes over the control
of the detection loops if the Primary System or parts of it is lost for any
reason.

To achieve this, the redundant loop control interface AutroKeeper
BN-180 is required.

An AutroMaster can communicate with both the Primary and
Secondary System via AutroCom.

The connections that are to be used between the Primary/Secondary
System and the detection loops depend on distances and the number
of Loop Driver Modules/detection loops used.

11.2 Rules of Thumb

Note that these rules of thumb goes for both systems in a Dual Safety
configuration:

 Up to 6 Loop Driver Modules can be connected to one I/O stack
 Up to 12 Loop Driver Modules can be connected to one panel
 Up to 6 Loop Driver Modules can be connected to one panel

directly (one I/O stack) if the cable length between the panel’s main
board AL_Com+ port and the I/O stack is less than 3 meters.

 Up to 12 Loop Driver Modules can be connected to one panel

through AutroFieldBus (up to 12 I/O stacks). This solution has to
be used if the cable length between the panel’s main board and the
I/O stack exceeds 3 meters, but can also be used for cable lengths
less than 3 meters.

Page 54

11.2.1 Example 1: Connections Using AL_Com+ only

The distance from the Primary Panel to the Loop Driver Module is less
than 3 meters. An AL_Com+ flat ribbon cable is used between the
panel AL_Com port and the I/O stack (including the Loop Driver
Module).

The distance from the Secondary Panel to the Secondary Loop Dri ver
Module is less than 3 meters. An AL_Com+ flat ribbon cable is used
between the panel AL_Com port and the I/O stack (including the
Secondary Loop Driver Module).

Autronica Fire and Security AS

Page 55

11.2.2 Example 2: Connections using both AL_Com+ and AutroFieldBus

The distance from the Primary Panel to the Primary Loop Driver
Module is less than 3 meters. An AL_Com+ flat ribbon cable is used
between the panel AL_Com port and the I/O stack (including the Loop
Driver Module).

The distance from the Secondary Panel to the Secondary Loop Dri ver
Module is more than 3 meters. An AL_Com+ flat ribbon cable
(maximum 3 meters) is used between the AutroFieldBus (AFB)
Protocol Converter BSD-321 and the I/O stack (including the
Secondary Loop Driver Module). The AFB Protocol Converter is
connected to the panel’s AFB. The AFB cable length can be up to
1000 meters. Booster equipment can be added to exceed the AFB
cable length even further.

11.3 Connections Overview

There are two AutroKeepers BN-180 for each detection loop in a Dual
Safety System (see next page). One must be assigned to the Primary
System and the other to the Secondary System. The BSD-321 (if
used) must be set to the Al_Com+ protocol (default).

The AutroKeeper is physically placed between the loop controller
(BSD-310) and the detection loop (one belonging to the Primary
System and one belon gi ng to the Secondary System) and thus
controlling/providing the loop controller access to the detection loop.

The built-in AutroFieldBus Master driver serves as a communication
protocol between the AutroSafe panel, the BSD-340 PowerLoop
drivers and BSD-321 protocol converters, plus Power Board BSF-400.
It provides a redundant field bus system with a ring loop topology.

The AutroSafe panels have one Autr oFie ld Bus con nected, and each
AutroFieldBus can host up to 31 bus units.

The AutroFieldBus has short-circuit detection/isolation technology
which ensures that only one AutroFieldBus bus unit will be lost in case
of internal failure (short-circuit).

The ring loop topology ensures that no detectors/field units will be lost
due to a single break or short circuit of the AutroFieldBus cable.

The AutroFieldBus cable is normally 2-wire twisted pair category 5
copper cables, however, fibre optic cable is possible by use of
separate signal converters. The AutroFieldBus uses the same
guidelines as AUTROLON (AutroSafe version 3.8 and earlier), in
terms of cable lengths, fibre modem and boosters.

15.3 Description

BSF-400 is a power monitor and controller board providing a
communication interface, AutroFieldBus. The board has also the
ability to operate stand alone with no communication. The fault relay is
energized as standard with its own watchdog.

The power board provides power to AutroSafe, AutroSafe’s existing
I/O module stacks, battery monitoring and charging, plus 24 voltage
contacts for other external equipment.

 2 x 24V outputs of 2A to AutroSafe panel
 2 x 24V outputs of 2A to I/O stack
 2 x 24V outputs of 2A to third-party equipment
 1 input for battery
 1 input for battery charger
 Communication
 Power control for battery
 Control signals for battery charger
 All internal voltage levels are monitored
 Temperature sensor for compensation of charger voltage

BSF-400 has short circuit protection on all outputs such that a short
circuit will not affect other outputs. Batteries that are connected will be
charged with temperature compensation to ensure long battery life
regardless of temperature (within the specified operating temperature
range).

All outputs on terminations A, B and C are specified to a maximum
current of 2A. There are no minimum power ratings for the outputs.
The maximum power that may be used from each output is 2A and
there is a current limiter implemented at 7A.

15.6 Battery Charging

The charging voltage is temperature controlled, so optimal charge for
each temperature is maintained.

Charge current for the BPS-405 is also controlled, so that the charging
voltage will decrease when the charge current reaches 2A.

A “Battery voltage too low”-warning will displa y on AutroSaf e s ystem s
connected to the BPS-405 or BPS-410 via AutroFieldBus. The
message will clear when charge current drops below 400mA.

Attention: The battery temperature sensor must be placed on the
batteries. If the sensor is placed in warmer or colder places, the
charging voltage will be wrong, and lower battery capacity and/or
shorter battery life may be expected.

The charging voltage at 25

o

C is 27, 2 V DC.

Note that when the BSF-400 board is turned OFF and batteries are
connected to the battery termination, the leak current of the batteries
is 6mA.

15.7 Button S2 – Start on S2 on Standby Source

By pressing button S2 one second, the system can be started (without
mains source) from the battery when the battery voltage is >20V DC.

Note that, if the battery voltage is less than 20V DC, the button will
have no affect (hardware controlled).

Troubleshooting:
In some cases the voltage can be slightly above 20V DC and drop
rapidly to below 20V DC. The relay will then tend to chatter. In this
case, it is recommended that the system is not started until the battery
is fully charged.

15.8 Configuration Settings

The BSF-400 board may be used in several different configurations.
The board is configured by means of two switches:

 Dipswitch S5 and S6 (refer to dipswitch tables, 0)
 Rotary switches X10 and X11 - AutroFieldBus address switch.

Each Power Board is given a unique address.

If for any reason the settings on dipswitch S6, X10 or X11 have been
changed, the BSF-400 must be restarted by pressing the reset button
S1 for this change in order to be taken into account.

The power has two modes of user interaction; standalone (S6.3 OFF)
or with communication to the AutroSafe system.

15.11 Fault Relay Watchdog J26

The fault relay on the BSF-400 board has its own watchdog. If the
CPU stops for any reason the watchdog will turn over the fault relay if
it is not fed within 1 secon d .

If for any reason the BSF-400 restarts, it takes 5 seconds before the
fault relay is in the correct position:

 J26.4 (normally open contact): closed contact when the unit is not

supplied with power or there is a fault on the unit

 J26.5 (normally closed contact): closed when no faults exist
 J26.6 (common): common for fault relay

Note that the fault relay will not be turned over for communication
faults on the AutroFieldBus.

The green and red LED beneath the cover are indicators for AFB-RX
and – TX. Hearbeat is indicated when these LEDs are blinking
simultaneously. Rapid blinking indicates heavy traffic on the
AutroFieldBus. If the red LED is weak and the green one is not lit,
there is no communication between the BSF-400 board and the
AutroFieldBus.

15.12 Battery Resistance Measurement

Every fourth hour, battery impedance measuring is conducted.
This is conducted by lowering the PSU voltage so that all loads are

powered from the batteries for a period of 60 seconds, then a built in
resistor is turned ON for 2 seconds. BPS-405/BPS-410 will then
measure the voltage increase between the resistor ON and OFF and
thus calculate the battery resistance. This measurement includes the
wires to and from the battery.

The battery high resistance fault is given when the total resistance of
the battery and battery cables is:

Type

Resistance

Power Unit BPS-405

0.8Ω

Power Unit BPS-410

0.6Ω

 If such a fault is given, check the cable resistance or replace the

batteries.

15.13 Electronic fuses

15.13.1 Power outputs

Power outputs A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 are protected by both
electronic and regular fuses. The electronic fuses will trip if a current
between 3.5A and 7A is drawn. The electronic fuse will turn OFF
power within approx. 10ms of a short circuit. The BSF-400 will try to
turn ON power 3 times with ~50s interval between each try.

If an external fault is not resolved, BSF-400 will not try to re-power
more than 3 times. A reset on an AutroSafe panel or pushing reset
button S1 will force the BSF-400 to retry.

IMPORTANT:
To be safe, remove regular fuse before troubleshooting external faulty
equipment.

15.13.2 Battery Input

The battery input is protected by an electronic short-circuit detector
and a regular fuse. If a short circuit is detected, the battery relay will
turn OFF within approx 50ms. The AutroSafe AutroFieldBus system
will then report “Battery not connected”.

15.14 Part of an AutroFieldBus Network

As a part of an AutroFieldBus network, the power module is
configured before start-up using dipswitches, some data, for example,
“Low voltage”-warning is given from an AutroSafe configuration via
AutroFieldBus.

Diagnostic outputs are given onboard with LEDs and alarm relay, and
on AutroSafe panels with audible alarms and display messages.

The LEDs and fault relay will not indicate any failure before the
AutroSafe has AutroFieldBus connection and the AutroSafe system
has been initialized.

15.15 Power Unit BPS-405 / BPS-410 as Standalone

In the standalone system, user input is given during installation only,
using dipswitches onboard. Set dips witc h S6. 3 OFF to set the power
supply in standalone mode.

Diagnostic outputs are given onboard with LEDs and fault relay.
